The debut Qasa album is threatening to be something special...the advance track on bandcamp is great but the one on the current Wire sampler is next level

Rat Heart: Dancin' In The Streets

Tom Boogizm has been stealthily building a stunning body of work under his Rat Heart alias, but this may just be his masterpiece. A feature on my turntable recently and I'm still bamboozled by its kaleidoscopic vision...

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

Did another painting...

'Acid Head II (Eckleburg Edit)'
(acrylic on A4 mix media paper)

#TalksyArt #Abstract #Painting #Art #ArtSky
Acrylic abstract painting in multi-colours (hues of pinks, reds, yellow, greens, blues, violet). Resembles front view of the upper part of a human head (from below the nose) wearing round, dark-rimmed, yellow sunglasses. Face & hair have patches of vivid colour, they appear weirdly distorted, as though being seen under the influence of psychedelics. The pre-eminence of the almost disembodied glasses provided the name of the edit in the title. Talksy '25

Sophie Agnel: SONG

If I was to choose my favourite 'new to me' discovery of this year, Sophie Agnel would be right up there. Both this and 'Learning' are wonderfully creative & ingenious albums of experimental solo piano improvisation 😍

Photo of a little girl from inside the Mercure Holland House Hotel, housing refugees families. She is holding a sign in from.of her face written in crayon. It says "Thank you for protecting us we love you" with a little face blowing a kiss represented as a love heart. She is wearing a pink t-shirt that says "Girls can conquer all fears"

'You Just Don't Know When To Stop, Do You?'

#TalksyArt #Painting #Abstract #Expressionist #Maximalist #Art
Densely layered abstract painting in multicolours, including shades of blue, green, yellow, red, purple & black + white, scraped, blurred & smeared to both reveal & obscure layers underneath, adapting the painting reactively as it developed in an intuitive, 'automatic' style. Talksy '25
